Thanks to the collaborative effort between members of the community and First Precinct officers this past year, the neighborhoods of Church Hill, Union Hill, Chimborazo and Fulton experienced an 11 percent decrease in major crime; a 2 percent reduction in violent crime; and a 12 percent reduction in property crime. That’s some nice teamwork!
